All
should be equal
our
creed, our promise
the
mantra, the challenge
the
words in his speech
that
all should be equal
to
follow our creed
none
should be left out
all
have value
no
matter their race, their gender,
their
skin color, anything else,
we
will be judged
by
how we treat the others
those
different, foreign
those
unlike the majority
a
nation of laws
built
on the promise
of
equal justice
